Extend your Blow dry

The right hairdressing wardrobe will extend the life of your blow dry for days (and days). Here are Bumble and bumble's essentials for making the most of your style:

hair how-to: Katie

We love this short, messy haircut. This cut and style is great for fine to medium hair.
1] Spray Tonic Lotion all over hair follow by spraying Styling Lotion from roots to ends.
2] Blow dry hair with a flat brush.
3] Apply Does it All from roots to ends, section by section & flat iron.
4] Apply Brilliantine to ends to separate and add polish.

Fashion Week hair how-to: Messy Chignon

Fashion Week is in full force and we have been loving the looks coming down the runway. But of course we love the hair even more! Today we wanted to share a hair how-to straight off the runway from designer Lindsey Thornburg. The hair is by Bumble and bumble stylist Sabrina Michals. She went for a clean updo with a sexy flamenco feel, to show off the low backs of the dresses. 1] Spray Prep all over hair followed Thickening Hairspray and Holding Spray.
2] Creat a deep side part and blow dry straight using the Bumble Classic Flat Hairbrush.
3] Secure the hair in a low, messy chignon on the side with pins.
4] Finish with Bb. Does It All.

hair how-to: side swept pony

Get this side-swept style straight from Spring 2011 Fashion Week.
1] Spray hair all over with Prep and then Styling Lotion
2] Blow-dry with a roundbrush
3] Draw a deep side part and secure hair into a very low side ponytail
4] Wrap a lock of hair around the ponytail and secure with pins.
5] Mist with Does it All

hair how-to: SAG awards

To get hair like Lea:
1] On wet hair spray Bb. Prep all over hair followed by Thickening Hairspray on roots and ends for volume. Finish with surf spray on ends for texture.
2] Blow dry hair upside down.
3] Once hair is completely dry spray with Does it All hairspray for light hold and heat protection. Wrap sections of hair around a large (I usually use a 1 inch) curling iron, away from the face.
4] Tossle curls with your hands. Finish with more Does it All hairspray.



for hair like Christina:
1] Spray Prep all over hair, followed by Thickening Hairspray on roots and ends for volume. Smooth a small amount of Grooming Creme through the midshafts and ends for polish.
2] Round brush hair for volume and smoothness.
3] Spray hair with Does it All hairspray for heat protection. With a large curling iron (again I use 1 inch) curl hair away from face, inside the curling iron (for a tighter curl).
4] Tossle curls with hands. Follow with another spray of Does it All.
5] If you like how her bangs swoop up and back follow step #3 of January Jones hair how-to.

To get January's hair:

1] On wet hair spray Prep followed by Styling Creme on roots and ends to create volume and hold. Apply a small amount of Defrizz to keep the hair smooth and to avoid flyaways.
2] Part hair on the side and blow dry using a round brush.
3] To accentuate the wave on the top, use a 1 inch curling iron to curl the hair back into pin curls (curl small sections with curling iron and instead of letting the curl fall down, pin the curl with a bobby pin or clip while it cools).
4] Once the curls have cooled brush through them to create volume and shape.
5] Pin the hair back at the center of the head. Finish with Classic Hairspray.
